•Before discussing the use of DanceForms for dance choreography and visualization, I want to present a very brief introduction to Life Forms, the program on which DanceForms is based. Life Forms was developed in my Lab at Simon Fraser University and is now marketed by Credo Interactive in Vancouver, BC.
	•The program was born in the mid-1970s out of a dancer’s project to produce computer animation from a Labanotation dance score.
	•During the 1980’s it was refocused for the commercial character animation market and geared toward creating animations you might see on TV commercials and in animated feature movies.
